As a young man he also played an excellent Mark Antony in an old black-and-white film of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'. He was a great actor, who lived a great life. Next time I'm drinking, I'll drink one to this man!

Sergio Leone didn't think the script was that good, and he was making an even more ambitious gangster epic that finally came to the Italian screen in 1984 as Once Upon A Time in America, in my personal opinion the gangster film to end all gangster films... Just as Once Upon a Time in the West did the same for the Western... But the movie to end all movies? No doubt about it, Intolerance... I'd elaborate but I'm feeling lazy and would rather talk about Brando... Brando's most significant legacy in my opinion will be in the form of the influence he had on actors of a later generation, including Robert De Niro, who took the method style to an even higher level in such films as Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. I did see his performance in Julius Caesar, and was blown away. Considering he was anti-theatrical, that he managed to hit the right notes so wonderfully with his performance (especially the beautiful 'honorable man' speech before the crowd) is all the more amazing. Then there's always The Wild One... "What are you rebelling against?" "Waddya got?"
